reduce...reuse...recycle...
the annual spring rummage sale at our school here in moscow is coming up in a few weeks, and me and some girl friends have reserved some tables so that we can sell/give our stuff.
i have always secretly (not so secretly anymore, i guess) prided myself in being very minimalistic when it comes to stuff. no judgment on anyone who is not, that is just what i like...and i see that this is affecting silas, too. this kid has one little basket of toys (books would be the exception here - he has tons of books), and a few key favorite toys that won't fit in the basket...yet the tupperware drawer in the kitchen or one of the poorly-baby-proofed-drawers in the livingroom are still his happiest places on earth.
but in preparing for the upcoming rummage sale, i am so surprised at all the many many things i can find to sell/give away! where did all this come from? we live in about 400 square feet on the 10th floor of a tall building in moscow...you wouldn't think there would be many places for a "minimalist" to store things, would you? oh but there are...the trick is going to be me carrying it all to the school...
